If you loved The Ice Pirates, try The Philadelphia Experiment

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Stewart Raffill, and they sit in Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Ice Pirates, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Philadelphia Experiment is

Dockside Pennsylvania, 1943. A warship hums under strange violet arcs. Two sailors vanish mid-flux then wake inside Philadelphia 1984, hunted by a Navy that erased the experiment. A forgotten pulp thriller reviving Cold War anxieties and shoestring FX cheer.
